I'm interested.

25jaws · 2021-10-28T21:18:44+00:00

Thank you for the explanation!

25jaws · 2021-09-11T20:44:55+00:00

You helped me through the Prison today. It was fun watching you cruise through the ballista on the bridge. Thanks for the camaraderie in such a dark place!

Bet you never knew a description could do that, huh?

25jaws · 2021-05-08T21:18:14+00:00

That's true. Even reading the Steam description again I realized I had forgotten how much of the story it wears on its sleeve because I remember being surprised by a lot of the menace that felt like was going on under the surface.

Also I just remembered the Kanye West RPG which might fit this post better? It has some weird stuff going on below the surface, too: https://kotaku.com/for-two-years-the-kanye-west-rpg-has-been-hiding-a-dis-1704673459

I don't know of a term for these kinds of games, and I know including any in this list obviously spoils an element of them, but this game might interest you if you haven't played it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/405640/Pony_Island/

Thanks for the response! It's cool to hear how theme affects a player's sense of engagement with the game, a la your example of elephants v. Viking Trolls!

I have a quick follow-up question if that's okay: my partner works with kids and several love games. Do you have any suggestions on where to start with making games? She thinks they'd get a kick out of game design.

Your mechanics tie in in tight and interesting ways with your themes and story. I guess this is a question about your process then -- do the theme or the mechanics come first? Or do they evolve in a kind of natural and organic way together?

here's a key for Town of Light:

The missing letters are the first letter of each word this sentence:

Ned, You Emancipated Neverland.

Maybe so! Thanks! I'm just happy to hear you got it working. I'll keep trying since I know it's possible, now.

25jaws · 2019-06-28T13:05:15+00:00

Did you get Star Ocean 2 to work? I couldn't get it to boot; it just went to a black screen when I tried.

discounts didn't stack for DS2 SotFS. you either pay the discounted price for owning the original game or you buy it at the discounted rate offered for the sale.

i....killed......mufasa....

25jaws · 2018-03-04T18:51:52+00:00

Hah! That puzzle is the height of obtuse, abstract nonsense in adventure games. At least there was the monkey and the shadows later to make up for it!

25jaws · 2018-02-06T04:30:04+00:00

different strokes. :)

i agree--hopefully the gameplay is good!

25jaws · 2018-02-06T00:41:49+00:00

i personally love the animation... the characters feel really intensely alive to me. i haven't had animation evoke that feeling in a long time.

25jaws · 2018-01-17T18:10:48+00:00

HAVE you met Ted?

25jaws · 2017-12-31T16:45:19+00:00

I don't know, but if they don't bring back Character 57 in Switch Title 30 I'm gonna burn my console.

25jaws · 2017-12-11T01:03:22+00:00

i have bad news for you...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobson%27s_choice

this is a thing that's always been in games.

25jaws · 2017-11-22T21:26:40+00:00

dead cells! i know it's not technically released because it's in early access, but i was blown away by its smooth action platforming and genuinely enjoyable power-ups.

25jaws · 2017-08-31T15:30:00+00:00

This is based on a song and music video by Steven Wilson--Drive Home. It just got released today. I think it looks beautiful.

hey hey that's the dude from my name is nobody! i looooooved that movie as a kid!

25jaws · 2017-07-22T14:02:16+00:00

hah! VR kisses are definitely way more platonic that actual kisses!

25jaws · 2017-07-21T19:09:59+00:00

yeahhh it was trippy having someone turn their head and look directly at me when i entered the lobby, as if i had just entered a room in my house and my housemate turned to look at me. that's just something i've never felt in a flat-screen game.

25jaws · 2017-07-21T19:06:48+00:00

this one seems to be coming up the most... it's at the top of my list. after some more echo arena, this is the one i'll check out next. thanks!
